The new npm ci command in npm 5.7.x installs from your lock-file only which makes it a lot faster than npm install.

npm 5.7 was released last week but introduced a nasty filesystem permissions bug. 5.7.1 resolves this, and the npm team recommend staying with the ‘latest’ release on key systems, rather than ‘next’, to avoid bugs like this.
